What if a Pug won’t eat kibble but only drinks water?
Water alone is not enough; long-term no kibble overloads the gut (pain, spasm, ulcer) and causes low blood sugar, malnutrition, even electrolyte imbalance. Offer other palatable food to ensure nutrition.
After playing outside he vomited wild grass, then undigested kibble, then loud diarrhea, now watery stool, no eating, no fever, no blood
Eating grass can cause acute gastroenteritis from its fiber irritating the stomach. Try pet anti-diarrhea medicine; if it eases, offer softened kibble. If not, see a vet for fluids to avoid electrolyte imbalance.
Why is my hamster twitching and refusing food and water?
Twitching and no eating or drinking may come from low temperature causing low blood sugar, or cold stress causing electrolyte imbalance. Congenital heart disease cannot be ruled out. Check for low temperature and warm it; give electrolyte or glucose water. If no relief, see a vet.
What If a Dog Eats No Salt Long Term?
Long-term no salt causes electrolyte imbalance, affecting body function, water balance and nerve and muscle health, with thirst, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness or dehydration. Ensure enough salt, but control intake since excess also harms.
My 2-month puppy, two vaccines, crate-kept; lively, eating, and pooping. A friend watched it one day (free-roam); after that it vomited, normal stools. On the 10th it vomited everything eaten, saw a vet who said indigestion, gave anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory; on the 11th still vomiting, went again.
The report shows positive canine coronavirus antigen, high white cells/neutrophils, high CRP (clear inflammation), plus kidney injury, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting is likely from coronavirus; treat the primary disease antivirally, correct fluids/electrolytes, antibiotics, and anti-emetics. Follow the vet closely.
What happens if a Husky has diarrhea?
Husky diarrhea may be from parasites, acute gastroenteritis, parvo, etc. Untreated → dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, gut lining damage, bloody stool, death. Take to a vet promptly for cause-specific treatment. Owners should watch diet/health and deworm regularly.
Why does my Teddy get leg cramps?
A Teddy's leg cramp may be caused by muscle spasm or overexertion. A muscle spasm is a sudden contraction of the muscle that cannot return to its normal relaxed state. This situation may be related to overuse of the muscle, fatigue, lack of exercise, or water-electrolyte imbalance. In addition, calcium deficiency and disease can also cause cramps in a Teddy, and different cases require different responses. When the Teddy's leg cramps, you can let it rest appropriately and massage its leg muscles. If the cramping occurs frequently, it is recommended to take it to a veterinary hospital for a body check and appropriate help.
What happens if a kitten gets feline panleukopenia (cat plague)?
Panleukopenia is highly contagious and often fatal, infecting cats. Kittens show high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, poor appetite, breathing difficulty, sleepiness, red eyes, more eye discharge, weakness; some have respiratory signs. Take to a vet at once; no specific cure, only supportive and symptomatic care to boost immunity.
My dog had acute gastroenteritis with bloody stool and vomiting blood after treatment—what now?
Acute gastroenteritis needs treatment matched to cause and symptoms, starting with fasting and water restriction. Persistent vomiting causes dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and even shock or death, needing urgent anti-emetics and fluids. Bloody stool and vomit are severe—give hemostatics, gut-repair and anti-inflammatory drugs, find the bleeding cause, and use prescription diet during recovery.
What happens if a dog receives too much IV fluid?
Giving a dog too much IV fluid is dangerous: rapid overhydration can cause pulmonary edema, chronic kidney failure, and high blood pressure. Glucose overload causes vomiting, appetite loss, and restlessness, while overall fluid excess can lead to electrolyte imbalance such as low sodium and low potassium, causing muscle pain and arrhythmia.
